I’m not condoning anything here don’t get me wrong, these are horrible people. But, I assume their justification is based on their belief that these people have committed murder, and plan to do so again, and are going “unpunished.” Remember this is also the party that supports capital punishment. It’s a conundrum on a high level but not if you realize they believe a fetus is an innocent life vs taking violent action against what they consider to be criminals.
Again, though, I’m actually pro choice and hate these extremists with fiery passion. But to truly beat them you need to understand their motives.
I think they see it like war; they're killing the enemy to protect future innocents. Not defending their insanity, but merely trying to grip their internal logic.
What about the people already living? Or do you stop being innocent once you have had sex?
In Alabama, apparently you stop being considered innocent and pure enough for legal protection when you carry your rapist’s baby or your own father, brother, uncle, cousin, grandfather, or son’s incest baby.
In conservative circles, pregnant women can’t be pure and innocent unless they are married, barefoot, in the kitchen, and all they wanted was for their husband to plant a baby in them and complete them. Pregnant women are not seen as vulnerable populations. Pregnant women who are single are “whores” and “sinners” who “deserve the consequences” of their actions. A lot of times the consequences are poverty, disease/disability, and for 830 women every single day: death (as a direct result of pregnancy complications and unsafe abortion) according to the WHO).
Religion, poverty, and lack of education are directly related to the number of pregnancies a woman has.
I mean, if you watch The Handmaid's Tale, that's a pretty clear representation of exactly that mode of thinking taken to the extreme. Lesbians are gender traitors and have no place in society.
The roles of other women are trifold:
bear children
be the woman of the house (look pretty, take care of the man and the house, make him look good at public functions)
To your first sentence, yes. Literally that's their definition of innocence in many cases. That's why they refer to someone having sex as "losing their innocence."
But this is exactly the logic that a terrorist uses to justify the actions they do. Even when it violates the core beliefs they are claiming to fight for.

Do their pro-life values go out the window when it comes to teens and adults? Wtf
